Paul Hewitt, head coach of Georgia Tech, has turned down an offer to become St. John's head coach, The Post has learned.

Sources in college basketball told The Post that Hewitt contacted Red Storm athletic director Chris Monasch on Thursday to say he was remaining in Atlanta, where his wife and family are very happy.

St. John's will move to Virginia Tech's Seth Greenberg and Cornell's Steve Donahue. Two sources outside St. John's told The Post that Monasch reached out to Virginia Tech AD Jim Weaver for permission to speak with Greenberg within minutes of receiving the call from Hewitt.
